A secondary school girl, Daisy, has reportedly died during lovemaking with her boyfriend at PamaStones Shopping Complex in Zimbabwe.
The sad incidence, according to H-Metro, happened on Saturday.
It was gathered that the deceased was a form three student at Highfield High 1 School. However, her age was not revealed.
It was also gathered that the two love birds put a fan powered by a small generator in a small shop.
It is suspected that the girl whose name was given as Daisy may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning which may have triggered an asthmatic attack, which resulted in her suffocating.
The boy is a tuckshop attendant at the shops nearly died as well and was rescued by revellers at a nearby bar.
The guy, John, was found gasping for air. People had to break into the generator room.
He fell onto the power cable which disrupted power in the bottle store, so people rushed to the generator room only to find it locked and broke in. They found the girl with no pulse, but the guy still had a pulse and was gasping for air.
He had to be rushed to the hospital, but I am not sure which one, H-Metro reported.
Girl’s family asking for bride price
A new twist to the sad incidence is that the girl’s family is demanding the full bride price from the girl’s lover to bury the girl.
It is being said that the girl’s family don’t want anything to do with the burial until boy’s family pays a bride price.
It was gathered that John is well known to Daisy’s family before the sad incident.
In Zimbabwean culture, it is taboo for a person to be buried without their close relatives in attendance.
According to local traditions and culture, if the relatives do not sign off on the burial, the non-relatives who go on to bury the body will be haunted by the spirit of the deceased.
Report from the country say John’s family members are now making preparation to pay full bride price on the death.
